I developed this recipe for Gluten Free Cornbread Dressing because I wanted something that tasted like what my mother used to cook for the holidays. I am a southern girl from Georgia, and in the south, we make our dressing using cornbread. I looked over the ingredients of my Mama’s cornbread dressing, and made gluten free substitutions. This gluten free version is almost as good as Mama’s, and is exactly right for the holidays, or for a Sunday family dinner. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3-4 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (12 oz.)of Pamela’s Gluten Free Cornbread Mix (or your favorite brand of gluten free cornbread mix)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk or water
- 4-5 slices of gluten free bread (I used 3 Udi’s Gluten Free Hot Dog buns. I like the way they taste but I don’t like hot dogs. You can use your favorite gluten free bread for this recipe)
- 3-4 cups gluten free chicken broth or stock (I used Swanson’s because it says on the container that it is gluten free)
- 4 eggs
- 3-4 tablespoons poultry seasoning (more or less to your taste)
- 1 tablespoon sage (more or less or none depending on your taste)
For the cornbread
- Saute´ the onions and celery in the butter until onions are translucent.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cornbread mix according to the directions on the package.
- When onions and celery are done, mix them into the cornbread batter.
- Bake in a 375° oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
- I usually make my cornbread the day before.
To prepare the dressing
- When cornbread is cooled, crumble it up into a large mixing bowl.
- Tear or cut up the bread into small pieces, add to the bowl.
- Mix in seasoning, eggs, and broth, a little at a time, until mixture is like a thick batter.
- You are actually making a savory bread pudding. You don’t want it to be too thin, or too thick. Usually about three cups of broth is enough.
- Pour dressing into a greased 9″ X 13″ pan or casserole dish.
- Bake at 400° until set and browned, about 30-45 minutes.
Notes
- Serve with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce.
Optional
- Add 1/2 cup chopped apple and 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the cornbread batter.
